A 100% mineral tinted sunscreen for sensitive and oily skin
EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41 is a fully mineral sunscreen, with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as its only UV filters. Its sheer, universal tint blends easily, softens the look of redness and leaves a natural, soft-matte finish. Antioxidants, including quercetin and alpha lipoic acid, help defend skin against environmental stressors. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, it is also water resistant for up to 40 minutes.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation
This is our pick for anyone who prefers mineral-only sun protection, especially sensitive skin that does not get along with chemical filters, or oily skin that wants a softer, matte finish. The tint is sheer and neutral, so it gives an even look without the feel of foundation. Book a consultation if you would like help choosing the right sunscreen for your skin.
